A Thousand Splendid Suns :: Khaled Hosseini

A Thousand Splendid Suns
Khaled Hosseini 

Okay everyone! This book is absolutely amazing and Khaled Hosseini is becoming one of my favorite authors! The book is written slightly differently than Hosseini's well known book The Kite Runner, but is still AMAZING!

This book is about the stories of two Afghan women, how each of them were raised (completely different) and how even though there are years apart in their age, their lives eventually intertwine with each other. Strangers, enemies, and finally family. 

Even though I was reading this book at a very busy time in my life, it was always on my mind. I was trying to find as much time as I could, which unfortunately wasn't much, to read this amazing book. I absolutely LOVE reading about cultures that are different than mine. I always try to imagine if I were in the situation that the character was in and what I would do. In this case one thing that stood out to me and I have always been curious about is arranged marriage. It definitely confirmed some of my fears, but also brought some light into it and how it isn't always bad. Sorry, I don't want to give too much away!

You would thing that sitting in in a hospital for a week would give you EXTRA time to read, but when your loved one is in pain and needs help with things, what seems to be every twenty minutes, reading becomes HARD .  Educated is the first memoir that I have ever read. I usually tend to read fictional books. Saying that, this book was amazing. A girl with no formal education( if you can even count her informal information), decides she is going to attempt to get into college. She does this by going to a book store and buying textbooks to teach her in subjects, such as Algebra. Then she reads these textbooks and teaches herself with s...
